I am unsure if my car was included in the air bag recall that i found via google, i was never notified for several recalls involving my car. now the ford dealership has informed me that there is an issue with my car as well as several others of the same make and model with code issues. these code issues cause the power steering to fail without warning and cause loss of control as well as something involving service advancetrac. ford has told me they can reset each time the code messes up but at this time ford has not ordered a recall and they will contact them to let them know. what am i to do? this is very dangerous!
